Each jar is labeled with prompts for creative tasks that the audience can perform on site or at home. Participants can "add a drop" (i.e. upload their participation) to waterbodies.org, where documentation of the interactive sculpture is collected. The audience is then invited to reflect on their personal connection with water, as nanobiologist Dr. Olivia Osborne presents her research on how silver nanoparticles in consumer products end up in water bodies/rivers affecting the aquatic environment.
In collaboration with Mick Lorusso and Olivia Osborne, the Water Canning workshops were premiered during the public art biennial, CURRENT:LA Water. More information on the Water Canning project on waterbodies.org.
